Hi Tojo,
Your question has me thinking that I don't have an original bone in my body! It seems that all I have learnt has come from another person-either in the flesh or from the written word. I do remember fo example reading a mag when I was young about how a woman's body reacts during sex and what a man could do to excite her. Bloody hell-there were all these places to touch, fondle,finger ,suck,squeeze etc etc! I couldn't wait to find out if this advice worked. First girl I went with was impressed-I don't think that she'd read the article.
As for BDSM I have most certainly not come up with anything original. Again it's been from mags. books and then going to clubs and meeting others and going on from there. I can claim that I have adapted ideas and twisted them to my liking-but I suppose then that my particular desires musy be totally mainstream?
In short-I have learned 99.99% from others.
